Today I might start to add fluids to box and diff as my new seal kit arrived for the gbox. I am sure everything is pretty much confirmed so they shouldn't have to come out anymore. Is this a silly idea?
Also what oils are people using in type 9's and diff? I have read mixed opinions about using high spec oils vs standard basic.

EP 80/90 is the old spec and would have went in box and diff back in the day,filling the box now is a good idea as it is a pain when all panelled up.
It will run out of the tailshaft if not carefull.

I tried to tackle the gearbox seals yesterday and I am a bit concerned (as usual). The seal at the outer end where prop shaft inserts is a bugger to get out. Should I be ok to try and prise it out with a flat blade against the toothed shaft? Before I start I thought I'd ask how people have removed it. Google is full of info saying lever it against the shaft but some people report all kinds of issues.
Also, a noob question if I may.... Am I ok to cable tie the cv boots on the driveshafts? I got some metal straps included but there a pita to put on.

Lever it out gently and be carefull not to bend the splines,try the prop on afterwards.

Quick update, I am away now for a month so progress will be halted. I still plan for a Christmas finish (not sure which year though!).
Some progress was made last week.. Engine relocated slightly, needed to move 1" to the NS  Fuel tank and mushrooms - thanks to Kev Front hubs reamed - thanks to Paul Got some new 15" speedline corse alloys with Michelins Eaton M45 received - this will be sold on later (surplus to requirements now I have another plan). Now the fun part.... In the states Zetec performance parts are everywhere. So far I have purchased a rotrex c31-80 charger and kit, powerworks inlet and a Ford Racing Head (these are like rocky horse s**t). Awaiting delivery of an Omex ecu with a bit of luck (only $400). The search continues but I am sure I am over my weight limit now - looks like additional baggage required!
